Story
Snickers is an 8 week old, bright-eyed, big-hearted puppy with a spirit as sunny as his name. Blending the loyal devotion of a Labrador Retriever, the gentle sweetness of a Golden Retriever, and the bold intelligence of a Border Collie, he’s the perfect mix of affection and adventure. Naturally friendly and people-oriented, Snickers thrives on companionship. He’s quick to greet strangers with a wagging tail and even quicker to form lifelong bonds with his family. Curious and highly trainable, he loves learning new tricks and puzzles, always eager to show off just how clever he is. Snickers would enjoy long walks, splash-filled playtime in warmer weather, and exploring the great outdoors. Yet after a day of adventure, he’s just as happy curling up for cuddles, resting his head in your lap with complete trust. Playful, loyal, and wonderfully intuitive, Snickers isn’t just a puppy—he’s a devoted companion in the making, ready to grow into a steadfast best friend for years to come. He is currently located down South at our sister shelters and available for pre-adoption. We do transports to NJ once a month. He can't wait to find his forever home!

Story
Cynthia is an 11 week old, sweet and thoughtful puppy with a gentle strength and a surprisingly soft heart. As a mix of a boxer she has a fun loving, goofy, playful spirit which is paired with warmth, loyalty, and protective nature. Cynthia is smart and curious, always eager to learn and please her people. She enjoys playful training sessions, exploring new places, and staying active but she’s just as content lounging nearby, quietly keeping her family company. Though she may grow into a big girl, her personality leans more toward affectionate shadow than fierce guardian. She bonds deeply with her loved ones and shows her devotion through gentle cuddles, patient watchfulness, and a wagging tail whenever her favorite humans walk into the room. Balanced, loving, and quietly confident, Cynthia is the kind of puppy who brings both comfort and companionship — a steady best friend with a soft side.
